Students with Advanced Placement art credit or students with other advanced art education or experience are strongly encouraged to consult with art faculty for placement in art classes, with possible enrollment directly into upper-level courses without need to complete otherwise required prerequisites. Placement directly into courses beyond the 100-level is at the discretion of the professor teaching the course into which a student wishes to gain entry.
